Travelers arriving on flights to Las Vegas<\/a><\/strong> can expect to see plenty out of the ordinary: celebrities behaving badly, Elvis officiating weddings, blue haired ladies playing the slots at 4 A.M., etc. Now get ready to add one more to the list: 190 million-year-old dinosaur tracks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Federal paleontologists announced the discovery of the pre-historic tracks this week at Red Rock Canyon, a major tourist draw just outside of Las Vegas<\/strong>. While the exact location of the tracks has yet to be leaked, officials have confirmed that they are located in an area accessible to the public.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So why weren\u2019t the tracks discovered long ago? There are a few reasons, according to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, Nevada<\/strong> isn\u2019t exactly known as a hotbed of dino-discoveries so folks probably weren\u2019t looking very hard. Second, these particular tracks are quite small. They were made by three-toed dinosaurs that probably topped out at 3-feet in length, according to the paper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
